Donkey Kong Hockey is one of the few two-player Game & Watch games ever manufactured. Donkey Kong and Mario must engage each other in a two-player game of Ice Hockey. It was released on November 13, 1984.[1] The game is colorless, being set up on a small LCD screen. The console is an elliptical shape, while the controllers are small and circular; the console can open up to store the controllers.[2]

Game A is a one-player game; the player will play against the CPU. While using controller 1, the player must control Mario and try to win the game of hockey against the CPU, which takes the form of Donkey Kong. For each goal scored, one point is awarded; the first one to reach ten points wins the game. However, if the CPU reaches ten points before the player, the game is over.

The game can also be pause in Game A by pressing the circular button on the second controller. The game will automatically release its pause after four minutes; the pause can be ended before that time by pressing the circular button once more.

Game B is a two-player game; the first player will control Mario, while the second player will control Donkey Kong. The rules are almost the same as in Game A; the first to reach ten points wins the game. There are no CPUs in Game B, and there are no Game Overs. Game B cannot be paused.[3]
